over the garden wall is a perfect cartoon. it’s short enough to watch in just over an hour on halloween night, perfect for getting your spooky on, you will literally be thinking about it for the rest of your life
You know what really gets me every time I rewatch the Over the Garden Wall finale? The extended pause when the Woodsman and his daughter reunite. You would expect them both to run to each other right away, embrace, bawling, but they don’t. The Woodsman stands incredulous, like he’s hardly daring to hope what he’s seeing is real, and Anna (his daughter) silently weeps tears of joy. The way she steadily relaxes the longer she sees him-like she’s calming, finally at peace after being separated from him for so long. It’s like the world of the Unknown, is, in that moment, taking a relaxed sigh as all is finally well.
my favorite thing about over the garden wall has got to be how wirt is like “i am a pariah i am a social outcast i am deeply hated and a loser fuck oh god i’m nothing” and then hard cut to all of his classmates who are like “hi wirt:) do you want to hang out with us?” literally the most accurate portrayal of teenage solipsism ever written
